Quotes from a liar

“Trump just vowed to push for term limits for members of Congress and a lifetime ban on lobbying for former lawmakers, both of which were promises from his 2016 race — and both of which his White House never sought to adopt in any of the four years he was president.” - NYT

Daughter is out. She's not going to participate in this campaign, like the last 2. I saw a sign once in front of a guy's house in Florida which said, "Ivanka 2024". Guess that's not happening.

The whole point isn't to do things, though, people will vote for "lower taxes" even if they are not literally lower, and against the progressive imagination of helping people. I bet it's a much harder sell after he's been even more exposed as traitorous to national security.

“I want to remind you that Donald Trump once got a hurricane's pathing wrong and so he drew it on a map with a sharpie and presented it to the American people as fact. He is not a man who has ever permitted "what is possible" or "what is reasonable" to stop him from saying whatever the fuck nonsense comes to mind.” Reddit

The image for me is people heading to the exit once he starts talking and the exits are locked. Trapped. (Source) The man is literally saying nothing.

Chaos isn’t organized. This is fine. Read all about it from Heather Cox Richardson , a historian who covers current events. "As their policies threatened to lose voters by concentrating wealth upward and hollowing out the middle class, Republicans increasingly warned that minority voters wanted socialism and were destroying the nation to get it.
